Halfords Pink. empty your screen wash tank and put it in neat. It will never freeze unless its below -6

If you check your wiper blades are not stuck to the screen first thing in the morning then you can demist your screen just with the screen wash

I got some cheap stuff from the local motor factors yesterday and diluted it 1:1 and it didn't freeze this morning.

Its the jets that freeze. Its a nightmare when you know you have a full tank of screenwash and you cant use it. Why do car companies not put the screen wash tank near to the warm bits of an engine? Might be an obvious reason why not but it would be very helpful in colder weather??

or just a element in there that 'warms' the screen wash. it's annoying the mk2 golf had heated washer jets, yet the mk4 doesn't. suppose the theory was the plastic wouldn't freeze like the older metal ones :S
